Did the College Football Playoff Committee actually … get it RIGHT? | HARD PASS Ep. 70

Did the College Football Playoff Committee actually … get it RIGHT? 👀 | HARD PASS Ep. #70

Doug Kezirian breaks down why the outrage may be pointed at the wrong people, and why the ACC, not the Committee, is truly responsible for the chaos at the end of the season 😬

Doug explains how outdated ACC tiebreaker rules kept Miami out of the conference title game, and how that single decision created a domino effect that shaped the entire playoff field.

He also lays out the major changes the CFP must make, from bringing back the “unequivocally better” clause, to removing current athletic directors from the Committee, and more.

Is the CFP system broken… or just the conferences running it? Doug breaks it all down.

“If the ACC didn’t screw up its own conference and tiebreaker, we would have avoided all the complaining with the final rankings of the committee.” — Doug Kezirian
